They're kind of expensive to replace; buddy of mine said the battery for his 1st gen Prius was $7k but he convinced Toyota to cover half (which I suspect means the wholesale price is closer to $3.5k)

The problem with electric cars is that they run on whatever produces the electricity, usually natural gas or coal, both produce green house gases. The way you're doing it, Bill, makes more sense. To
